Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
For compassionate leaders who've quietly outgrown what used to work.
You're not in leadership for the title. You're in it to use your strengths to make a way for others to use theirs.
You've stopped waiting for a certainty that was never going to arrive. Now you're ready to lead with clarity and confidence, right in the middle of the uncertainty.
This show is for you if you're looking to:
✅ Find your footing again, instead of just pushing through the overwhelm
✅ Turn the people who follow you into leaders in their own right
✅ Lead in a way that sustains you, not one that wears you down
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Executive Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each episode supports leaders navigating the shift into roles where success isn't just about their own performance anymore. It's about leading through complexity, ambiguity, and stakes their old playbook never had to handle.
We name what's actually happening underneath the overwhelm, and find a way back to steady leadership, without pretending there's a five-step fix.

144. Rethinking Work and Advancing Gender Equality with Dr. Tara Schwegler
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Did you know that women represent over 52% of the professional workforce, but they only occupy 24% of C-Suite roles and only 10% of Fortune 500 companies are led by women?
What if the main barriers holding women back are actually outdated cultural assumptions that we have about the concept of work?
Dr. Tara Schwegler is back to talk about how challenging our assumptions about work can help advance gender equality and make our teams and workplaces more diverse and inclusive. It's time to get off auto-pilot in our workplaces and rethink what it means to lead a team that works well. Tara provides steps to do just that, including tips for leaders at all levels.
